  1. Oh, for sure that’s better for us. But there is no chance our owner will write a 20 million dollar cheque to get rid of OEL. Allvin already said buyouts aren’t an option. IMHAO That’s direction coming directly from the owner.
  2. Yup. He’s 5’11” and 180 and just turned 18. He’s a younger looking guy too. Even if he doesn’t get much bigger he’s still going to be a for sure good player. He’s too skilled, too smart, and too competitive not to. But if he grows a bit more and puts on a few more pounds then he’s a guy who could be a huge steal at 11. Hughes, Hronek, ASP would give us three elite, puck moving D. Our transition game would be so good.
  3. Maybe she’s a defender of the egg laying bugs? Seems this particular Timmy’s is trying to silence those who want to protect the poor, little bugs. If their store is clean where will the bugs live? What about their habitat?
  4. Allvin directs our scouts to rank prospects on their ceiling as a difference maker. Whichever guy we have ranked who will develop into the biggest difference maker is the guy we will pick. IMHAO on D that’s ASP. At forward that would be Benson. ASP has the elite skills to be a number one D. Other guys like Reinbacher, Willander, Shimashev seem more like a compliment player to an elite partner. Benson has the ceiling of a point producing, high compete, defensively aware top six centre.
  5. Yup. Gillis won two Presidents’ trophies, GM of the year, and his club got to game seven of the Cup Final. Benning
  6. I don’t disagree. I’m responding to a post that reads “literally no team wants Boeser.” Which isn’t correct. Boeser has IMHAO negative value. But if we retain then other teams will want him. The more we retain; the better the return. But we aren’t clearing his whole cap, that’s for certain.
  7. Sure Benning was great! Gillis teams only won two President’s trophies. Benning’s great team won three! Gillis’ team only got to game seven of the Cup Final. Benning’s best team celebrated a parade down Georgia! Gillis only got voted by his peers as GM of the year once. Benning won 8 times!
  8. Yup. Scheifele is a soon to be UFA. (2024). So he’s a rental for one season. The Jackets will have to overpay to keep him. He’s the same age as Miller too and definitely not as talented. Miller would be their number one C. And on a great contract. The return for Miller would need to include 3OA for sure.
  9. Not at his current cap hit. They will want retention. The more we retain; the higher the return.
  10. We’d have to get Lafreniere sign pretty quick or another team could offer sheet him at 4.2 and we couldn’t match. We would end up with a second rounder in compensation though. Would end up Garland (with 1 mil retention) for a second.
  11. Hard for Columbus to sign UFAs to team friendly contracts. They would much rather get Miller, who is locked in on a great contract, than a soon to be UFA that they have to overpay to keep. Hayes is a cap dump.
  12. If any player has the lack of character that makes him a soft quitter like Juiolevi then we for certain don’t want him.
  13. Was Poolman ever -41? Peekaboo is the Ayatollah of Craperolla
  14. I think if Nashville made this offer Allvin would say”, Yippee Ki Yay mother ******”
  15. Nope. Peeke is a defensive disaster. He was minus 41 last season. Quinn is fabulous and could carry Peeke, if needed. But honestly Myers is a much better player than Peeke. It’s just Myers is paid too much. Woo is better than Peeke for what we need. Alf hates the Peekaboo.
  16. Like to get Lafreniere, of course. But if the cost to get him is too high then would your trade idea work if it’s Garland for Goodrow straight up?
  17. Peeke isn’t a smart player or the terrific skater Tanev is. He’s slow to pucks. Hughes can carry any partner but if he has a Tanev that allows him to move forward more. Peeke would be fine if it’s a one for one for Garland. We save on cap and get a guy who can play on our bottom pairing. It’s a reallocation of cap. Woo looks ready. It’s good to have guys compete for spots providing their contract doesn’t default them to winning it.
  18. His value is zero to us. We have Hronek, Myers, Woo, Juulsson. Peeke would be overpaid to play on our club. He’s pretty much Poolman IMHAO. If to dumperoo Garlsnd’s contract we have to take a contract back then that’s the only reason I can see taking Peekaboo. We clear a bit of cap space.
  19. New Beau (who is clearly better than old elephant Bo) has value. Garland is a Benning stain.
  20. He’s a Smurf who contributes very little to winning. (Pun intended:) He can’t PK because he’s too slow and small and he can’t PP for the same reasons and he can’t shoot. He’s just another Benning stain.
